you don't need to be considering any licencing issues about the libraries preinstalled with the operating system... you need to consider licencing about the libraries you will be distributing with your project (either statically or dynamically linked)... for example you can't use GPL libraries in closed sourced applications...

You were right about it ... all GPL licenses are the biggest trap for all common programmers society and as it seems too many developers has fall into that trap.

It`s like a chain that forces all developers to use their ideas as a complete open source code project and that chain is created i think because of the lazyness of many programmers.

Instead of using a more Freedom ready license or to write their own license to help each others programmers that may use their libs they fall into the trap that force every programer that will use their libs to go open source.

Imagine the first lazy programmer that made a simple mathematical header and or lib that wanted to help other programmers and be honored that other bigger projects will use it`s header or lib inside them force a chain of all next programmers to go public and destroying their securities and also their ideas for the open source projects.

Other may like to have an open source project and by that having more help by other programmers but other may not want to go open source and by using a GPL license cause of lazyness as i think all programmers instead of giving freedom to the next programmers they actually enslaved them to the chain of open source.

I give my respect to open source projects or closed source that use a non GPL license to use their libs by other programmers inside their applications without forcing them to go on an open source publication of their code and for the basic reason that is called security of the connections of an application.
